Welcome

I am constantly amazed at how animated and talkative people get when you mention food. The mere aroma of certain foods can evoke memories that transport us back to a special place and time. Food can bridge the gap between all ages, races and ethnicities.
Let's face it, the only thing that should ever come between people is a table and some serving bowls.

Happy Easter Everyone

This was one of the recipes my grandmother found back in 1973 in either a Woman’s Day or Family Circle magazine. Since we did not eat meat on Good Friday she thought this would be a nice recipe to try. Everyone loved it so much that for awhile it became an every friday night meal. Served with a salad and some type of potato or rice on the side made for a very satisfying dinner.

This photo shows it being served with mayonaise on the side which is good but it's even better with the warm cheese sauce.

Tuna Roll recipe

Filling:
2 cups tuna, drained (she usually used 6 cans)
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup waterSauce:
1 can of cream of mushroom soup

OMG! I think that I've actually seen this recipe in an old McCall's magazine (McCall's may have used canned salmon though).
